Using Adversity to Fuel Positive Change
Bridie Farrell, a three-time American record-holding speed skater, is the founder of NY Loves Kids, a non-profit advocacy organization for child victims. Farrell, a national spokesperson for sexual abuse survivors, will discuss how surviving child sexual abuse became a platform for change. Farrell’s advocacy for abuse survivors has helped to pass legislation extending the term limits for victims to report their abuse. We will learn about the alarmingly high rates of child sexual abuse and the effects it has on our communities. Farrell will suggest ways we can help.
The lecture will take place virtually from noon to 12:50 p.m. and can be viewed live on the library’s Facebook page and at https://livestream.com/hvccstreaming/events/9235044.
Voices: A Library Lecture Series is offered each semester to broaden and enrich the scope of studies at the college by presenting speakers on timely and enduring issues.
